About Me

"I'm not too sure where I've been, I've just got off a plane, mate. I think it was Spain or Norway or some mad place like that... in fact ask Bez." - Shaun Ryder at Manchester Airport 1992, after returning from Holland
Errr.
My name is Chris. I'm tall, work at an internet provider, like to get drunk and do all the stuff below, and lots lots more. I like to pretend I can speak German. I like to pretend I'm a bad-tempered South African to people I've just met. I really like Spain and will probably have ditched England and moved there by the time I hit 30. I dislike smelly bastards on buses, spider crabs and people with shit senses of humour that can't take a good old-fashioned ribbing!And one more thing:

MESSAGE BEFORE ADDING ME

Please thanking you good sir. I don't usually tend to accept otherwise, my list is getting a bit big and I've started clearing off people I don't know or haven't heard a goose from.Also, this one is important, I have a proper bad fetish for ladies collar-bones. It started a long time ago, and I can't explain it, and I think there is probably no hope for me sorting this particular ailment.

My Interests

Going out, socialising, poker, XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, Bolton Wanderers, music, Spain, Spanish culture, arty-farty French films, Far-eastern cinema, expensive wine, eating out, boobs and ladies bums (front and back)

I'd like to meet:

People that can take my odd, and usually crude sense of humour. Considering exactly how peculiar it is, I've found that most people find it quite agreeable. It's unexpected, but nice all the same.
